Poetic Dan

Letting the darkness out

I\'m so fed up, I\'m going to write it out
This is my darkness that I can\'t shout

 

To live inside an empty shell
Nothing can fill an echoing well

 

Emotionless in motion
Unable to break free

 

This mind becomes a prison
That no visitors can come in

 

Lost within the riddles
Stuck from yester-years

 

A weight upon my shoulders
Saturated in lakes of tears

 

The chain around my ankle
No possible way to float

 

These are the thoughts of a dad
Just missing his children\'s hugs

 

I do not wish to judge or be judged
I may have more or less than some

 

But one thing for sure
My darkness is my own
If you struggle with yours
Then we are not alone

 

Healing is our journey
To do what we need to do
One day I know I\'ll look back
With a deep breath for us all...
